Broadly: materials science, applications of machine learning, autonomous experimentation
Projects I’ve worked on previously:
-
Invented a way to make covalent organic frameworks (‘COFs’) in water, in minutes, using ultrasound. Usually they are made in toxic organic solvents over 3 days in an oven at 120 °C.
-
Created a method to 3D print pure metal-organic framework (‘MOF’) monoliths without binder by extruding a colloidal gel of MOF nanoparticles.
-
Discovered a new family of hypophosphite-based hybrid perovskites
-
Used in situ X-ray diffraction to understand the formation processes of MOFs.
-
Reported the first full characterisation of negative thermal expansion in MOFs.
